What time: Students should be at the pool by 8.30am. The first event is at 8.45am. Students are asked to enter and exit through the back gates (near Memorial Hall).

On arrival, students should move to their House areas – attendance will then be taken. Students will be dismissed at 3.30 pm (unless they are catching buses, in which case they will be dismissed earlier).
